  • How Not To Think about...Who You Are

    Rebecca grew up in beautiful Vancouver, and now resides in Richmond, B.C.
    In her youth, she loved individual sport and for several years, competed in
    rhythmic gymnastics. Rebecca earned a Bachelor of Kinesiology from the
    University of British Columbia (UBC) and in 2012, a change in professional
    direction occurred and she furthered her education to receive an Infant
    Development Certificate, also from UBC. For the past seven years, Rebecca
    has worked as an Infant Development Consultant, supporting parents and
    their infants, as a home-based visitor. She is trained in attachment-parenting
    and co-facilitates educational parent groups and works alongside families to
    help support them in their child's development. In her memoir, Rebecca
    shines light on the damaging impact of being raised by a parent with severe
    psychological issues that not only prevented secure attachment but lead to
    fear, self-doubt and insecurity that impacted all relationships. By sharing her
    story, Rebecca hopes to inspire others to work through their trauma and
    subsequently free themselves.

  • How Not To Think about...Personal Transformation

    Dominey  Drew has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneur Magazine and ThriveGlobal for her work, and loves nothing more than facilitating powerful transformation for her clients. 

     Over her 18 years of experience and research in this field, Dominey Drew has discovered a powerful, proven process to eradicate negative patterns in a matter of weeks. By using it herself she has transformed more completely then even she ever thought possible. Everything from her mindset, negative self-talk (completely gone), happiness level (from a 3 to a 10), physical body shape (weight loss), self-confidence and success of both relationships and business was wildly transformed. 

    Most people spend their lives struggling unnecessarily, never realizing that their struggle is self-created, or how to stop it.  They are frustrated, lonely, unable to move past the glass ceiling that’s holding them back. When in reality, one simple inner shift can shatter it and launch them forward into effortless success. So after using this process herself to overcome the most profound insecurities and self-sabotaging habits, there is no problem Dominey isn’t equipped to solve. 

     Today, this is her passion and her life’s work. Welcome, to the next step of your evolution.

  • How to Think About....achieving inclusivity

    In our divided climate with heightened concerns and emotions over inclusion, racism, and activism, THE ESSENTIAL DIVERSITY MINDSET: How to Cultivate a More Inclusive Culture and Environment (Career Press, 3/1/21) offers a transformative approach to diversity―as a mindset, not as a formula.

     “It is thoughts, feelings, and behaviors—not enforcements, compliances, or statistics—that drive diversity outcomes,” asserts author Soo Bong Peer, a diversity strategy consultant and executive coach to multinational corporations who helps organizations build authentic paths to diversity.

     “Diversity is a mindset: it can’t be forced; it comes from within. By changing the way differences are viewed and accepted, we can change the way we look at diversity.”

     Peer was raised in a South Korean military, political, and diplomatic family. She grew up in South Korea, Mexico, the UK, Japan and the U.S. With more than 30 years of experience in strategic marketing, global branding, business development, international joint ventures, and leadership development, Peer’s hands-on career combined with personal background brings a unique perspective to today’s struggles.

    THE ESSENTIAL DIVERSITY MINDSET intertwines Peer’s personal story with answers to businesses, organizations, and people searching for alternate perspectives and strategies to advance diversity and inclusion.  It will inspire readers to pause and reflect on where they are and explore how we all can make positive shifts to thrive in unity with differences. Topics covered include:

    ·         Diversity is a mindset, not a formula

    ·         Racial labeling divides people and promotes racial stereotyping

    ·         Human connection is the foundation of healthy diversity

    ·         Self-empowerment and personal change forward diversity

    ·         Leadership action is imperative to advance unifying diversity in changing times
